It remains unclear whether the device has been delayed or scheduled for a separate announcement later.

In terms of design, the Vivo S60 series adopts a new silver-white finish inspired by shimmering reflections on the summer sea. According to Vivo, the rear panel creates a flowing light effect that changes with viewing angle.

Photography is said to be one of the key upgrade areas for the Vivo S60 series. The company claims the lineup introduces a new Live Photo feature and describes it as one of the best Live imaging experiences available in the industry.

The Vivo S60 series is confirmed to support direct 4K Live Photo output. Vivo says it has improved end-to-end efficiency, memory usage optimization, and intelligent frame-rate temperature control to address heating, memory, and processing issues commonly associated with 4K capture.

The company has also announced a new Starlight Live feature, which can automatically detect bright highlights within scenes to improve the atmosphere and visual appeal of photos and videos.

Vivo S60 specifications

Reports have revealed that the Vivo S60 will pack a 6.59-inch OLED screen with 1.5K resolution support and may house a 7,200mAh battery paired with 90W fast charging support. It may feature a Sony IMX8-series periscope telephoto camera and the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset.

The device is also tipped to support magnetic accessories and may launch in multiple colour options, including a pink variant. The device is also expected to feature stereo dual speakers, an X-axis linear motor, an IR blaster, and IP68/IP69-rated dust and water resistance.
